Elemi
Elemi er et fremragende fikseringsmiddel og bruges til at tilføre en frisk, citronagtig note til træagtige, krydrede og syrlige dufte. Dens lyse noter blender godt med dybere, peberrige facetter og skaber unikke akkorder, der balancerer sprudlende, lyse noter med varmere dufte. Antydninger af fyr og citron giver karakter til en ellers træagtig, balsamisk ingrediens.
Krydret, dyb, sød, peberagtig, grøn og citronagtig.

Historie
With its myriad of medicinal and olfactory benefits, elemi has found its way into the everyday lives of humankind for millennia. In ancient Egypt, the sticky gum was ritualistically added to complex concoctions mixed for the sole purpose of embalming the deceased during mummification. The esteemed substance made its next debut during the Middle Ages, when it was popularly used in salves to heal wounds and respiratory ailments.
Produktion
Elemi is a natural gum resin derived from the luzonicum Canarium, a tall tree native to the Philippines. Once cut, the trees “cry”, producing a sort of resin that hardens once touched by air. The gum is primarily manufactured in France, where it is then steam distilled to obtain its coveted essence, or manipulated to produce resinoid using volatile solvents.
